If your vet refers you to LVVSC, and you trust your vet, and believe it's necessary, then by all means go. What I would suggest is once they have performed the necessary procedure, run, don't walk, back to your own vet. If there are further instructions or meds to be issued, get all that and take them with you to your vet. Staying with LVVSC will just prolong everything, not to mention you will run up a huge bill for their services. When I was going there with my cat, I was calling them every day with problems. When I finally dropped them (in the middle of his treatment), they never, ever called to see what happened to me or my cat. In case you'd like to know, after I put my cat through numerous procedures, he had to be put to sleep. I'm not directly blaming them because I believe LVVSC, my own vet and I all contributed to my having to end his life.
